[FONT=&quot]... [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Restriction of Movement in Occupied Palestine".

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Featuring photographs taken by Checkpoint Watch Women in the [/FONT][FONT=&quot]West Bank[/FONT][FONT=&quot].

Launch Date: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Thursday 8th March 2007[/FONT][FONT=&quot] (International Women's Day), [/FONT][FONT=&quot]6.30pm[/FONT][FONT=&quot].

Venue: [/FONT][FONT=&quot]4 Dame Lane[/FONT][FONT=&quot], [/FONT][FONT=&quot]Dublin[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] 2.

Checkpoint Watch is an organisation of Israeli women who monitor the
behaviour of soldiers and police at Israeli checkpoints. Throughout
the [/FONT][FONT=&quot]West Bank[/FONT][FONT=&quot] a large network of these checkpoints exist, under the
pretence of security, but in effect are a collective punishment
measure inflicted on the Palestinian population, severely curtailing
their freedom of movement, and frequent human rights violations are
experienced at them.

The photographs, taken by the women of Checkpoint Watch, illustrate
the unbearably harsh life to which the Palestinian population is
subjected to by barricades, Israeli army checkpoints, and the [/FONT][FONT=&quot]West
Bank[/FONT][FONT=&quot] wall.

The exhibition is being organised by Amnesty International Irish
Section's Israel & Occupied Palestinian Territories Working Group.
Judith Keshet, a founder of Checkpoint Watch and an Orthodox Jew, and
Terry Boullata, Palestinian Human Rights activist, will speak and
officially launch the exhibition.

The launch reception is open to the public, admission free, light
refreshments will be served and all are welcome.
